Established in the Manawatū in 2000. While U3A stands for "University of the Third Age", we are not a university in the modern sense: no qualifications, no exams. We are a community of older people who seek a greater understanding of life. Taps the reservoir of knowledge, skills and experience of older people through self-help learning. Provides opportunities for reading, research, discussions and field trips. The atmosphere for learning is informal and friendly. There are no compulsory activities or examinations. Costs are minimal.

We meet in small learning groups (usually less than 15 people). We currently have over 40 interest groups. Each group has a coordinator who organises and oversees the group. Groups meet in members’ homes, in libraries, art galleries, other spaces. Several groups have also been meeting online (eg Zoom, email). You may join as many groups as you like (there are waiting lists for some groups). Sometimes we go on visits, for example to art galleries, museums.

In addition to the groups we usually run two seminar series each year with themes of general interest.

Manawatū Young Chamber supports youth development and youth participation by creating an environment for sharing knowledge and expertise within the business community in the Manawatū region. We aim to be a one-stop-shop for young people, building connections and developing professional skills by connecting students, young professionals and businesses through collaboration and development opportunities. Our target audience is 18-40 year olds.
 
Our chamber operates based on four key pillars: governance, enterprise, employability, and partnership. With the governance pillar, we would provide opportunities for young professionals to have a deeper understanding of being a board member of an organisation. While with enterprise – our chamber would be a source of information for all funding applications to start or grow a business. With the employability, we would like to provide opportunities to develop skills that would be needed in the business environment and for career development. Lastly, partnership would involve building long-lasting relationships with organisations that support youth participation and development.
